Masculine love is unreliable
Heart
Father’s absence seeded mistrust in paternal love.
I trust love that is present and supportive.
Men are emotionally unsafe
Root
Instability and volatility modeled by grandfather.
I am safe in my relationship with masculine energy.
Women must endure to preserve family
Sacral
Grandmother’s sacrifice normalized self-abandonment.
I honor my needs and create new legacies.
If I speak, I’ll cause more harm
Throat
Family silence passed as protection.
My truth heals me and those who are ready to hear it.
Sex = Survival
Sacral
Aunt’s actions taught that sexuality is a tool for survival and control.
My sexuality is mine. It is free, sovereign, and whole.
Love must be earned or performed
Solar Plexus
Early favoritism replaced by withdrawal taught that worth is conditional.
I am loved simply for being who I am.
